Owned by Mary and administered by E. Pulliam, Samaritan Garden Personal Care Home is a personal care home on South Gloster Street in Tupelo, Mississippi, in Lee County. The community is a few miles from the city centre. It is close to area pharmacies, hospitals, and medical specialists.

The single-story community has 28 beds with both private and semi-private accommodations. Its smaller size can appeal to families looking for a more personal, closely managed setting instead of a larger campus with a longer list of amenities.

Residents have access to outdoor common areas, an on-site beautician, devotional services, transportation services, and fitness and recreation programmes. The community also offers social, educational, and entertainment activities to help keep residents active and engaged. Residents can bring their pets, which can make the move easier for those who want to keep a companion animal.

The area has a Walk Score of 19 out of 100, which is car-dependent. Families visiting or planning outings should drive because there are limited destinations within walking distance.
